Default help me...wheel advice please

ok I need some expert wheel advice... I do not know how it all plays into one another .... I will be running a 4" lift with 37" mud grapplers they are rated at being 13.5 inches wide ... The wheels I am looking at or would like to run is from American Racing called "Chamber " with teflon coating, series 3985... the wheel is 18" bolt pattern 5 on 5.5 and back spacing is 4.5 offset at 19mm.... I know I will have to run an adapter to get that bolt pattern but how far will that push me out past the fenders in inches... do you think I will rub anywhere or do you think I will be fine... what do you think of this set up?.. and what adapters are the best to run?... thank you for your help...

That's a really good looking wheel, but with the backspacing being 4.5", + the 1.5" spacers/adapters, that would leave you with the equivalent of 2" backspacing. Those are going to stick out quite a bit. I would personally try to find some wheels with the correct bolt pattern and back spacing to start off with. Good luck.

I found them with the correct bolt pattern but they still have 4.5 back spacing... so should I still use a spacer to run the 37 x 13.50...

How wide are they? I am guessing 9". I think you should be fine, but you may want to wait for someone who is actually running that setup to chime in.
